JAMES SPANN, or MoUNns, ILLINOIS.

CABINET.

Application filed October 30, 192 3. Serial No. 671,662.

This invention relates to a closet or cabinet and is particularly designed for sport for the reception of such implements used by sportsmen as guns, golf clubs, tennis rackets, balls, etc., as well as afiording, in an isolated part of the cabinet, means for supporting the ordinary clothing.

The primary object of the invention is to' construct a cabinet or closet in a simple,'inexpensive and compact manner, as to be capable of supporting clothes on the usual and to further provide compartments in the upper "portion of the closet for the customary goods or implements used by sportsmen.

A further 'object'of the invention is to provide a horizontal dividing partition between the clothes compartment andthe compartments for the sport goods in order to separate these compartments.

A still further object of the invention is to provide an opening in the rear part 0 said horizontal partition so that a gun, for instance, may be placed in the clothes compartment by permitting its barrel to project through the opening in the horizontal compartment, thus constituting a supporting means for the gun.

A further object of the invention is to provide a sliding drawer near the bottom of the receptacle and to provide fastening or locking instrumentalities for the drawer, to prevent surreptitious opening thereof, andto so arrange the said fastening means as to be inaccessible except when the main swinging cabinet door is in open position.

Other objects and advantages will be apparent from reading of the detaileddescription following when taken in con]unc tion with the annexed drawings constituting a part thereof, in which Figure l'represents a perspective viewof my improved cabinet,

Figure 2 is a front elevation with parts broken away,

Figure 3 1s a sectional side view of the cabinet,

Figure 4- is a section on line H of Flg-v ure 2,

' Figure 5 is a section on line 5-5 of Figure 2, 7

Figure. 6' is a section on line 6-6 of Figure 2.

Referring now to the drawings, the numeral 1 designates the cabinet; 2 the swinging door therefor, 3 the horizontal partition; a the opening near the rearextremity thereof for receiving and supporting a gun barrel; 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9 representing vari ous compartments for sport goods; 10 designates the sliding drawer which isfprovided with locking means 11. It will be observed that the locking means, herein shown as a pin is so positioned as to be inaccessible except when the main swinging door 2 is in open position. 12 and 13 represent partitions situated in the base of the cabinet to provide concealing compartments 14 and 15. It will be noted that. the base 16 is made separately cured thereto in any desirable manner.

f cured to the saidbase, which is preferably detachable from the cabinet frame, are legs 16, 17, 18 and 19. The legs are preferably formed by uniting a number of sections togetherin order to present easy and inexpensive means for repairing the legs should they become mutilated, broken or otherwise damaged. v I

The clothes compartment 3 is provided with a plurality of supporting hooks 21 so as to constitute a protector for the clothes from the gun when the same is supported in the closet. The swinging door 2 maybe pro vided with any suitable locking means.

The cabinet is further provided with a horizontal floor 22; v i

It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that man changes in the invention may be made wit out departing from'the spirit thereof, and in keeping with the scope of the following claim.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim is: a

A portable cabinet comprising a swinging door, vertical partitions located in the lower part of said cabinet intermediate the side walls thereof,- a sliding drawer located within the confines of said vertical partitions and from the cabinet frame and is seguided thereby, fastening devices for said door permanently located within the interior of said cabinet and inaccessible except when the said swinging door is in its open 5 position, a horizontal floor located above said sliding drawer, said vertical partitions, horizontal floor, and sides of said cabinet constituting concealed compartments in proximity to the sliding drawer and accessible only when the sliding drawer is re- 10 moved from the confines of the cabinet, said partitions extending only part way to the horizontal floor.

In testimony whereof I aflix'my signature.

JAMES SPANN. c
